Nvidia using 32 bits install

Hi everybody,

I successfully install freebsd i386 on my AMD but I'm not able to install the 
nvidia driver.

I fetch all the sources (using csup) and got the last ports tree.

So here is my try:

[20:08:25] root at mellba:/usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
# make install

So a file is missing. I try this:
# cd work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-169.12/src/ && mkdir pci && cd pci && ln -s 
/usr/src/sys/dev/agp/agpvar.h && cd ../../../../ && make install

The module compile and everything goes ok. But it doesn't work:
kldload: can't load nvidia: No such file or directory

If i put nvidia_load=ŸES" in loader.conf, it doesn't change anything.

Why the installation is not working without this manual trick?

Here is what I get about my video card with pciconf -lv:
# pciconf -lv | grep vga -A 4
vgapci0 at pci0:1:0:0:	class=0x030000 card=0x81f31043 chip=0x01df10de rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Nvidia Corp'
     device     = 'GeForce 7300 GS'
     class      = display
     subclass   = VGA
